Baby's here but I'm sooo stressed!!

My DD was born in the 25th 7lbs6oz Her original due date was the 27th. She looked great and was 100% healthy and I had a normal pregnancy no complications. They took her blood after she was born and it came back that she there was a bacteria in her blood so we now have to stay for an addition 48 and she has to receive IV antibiotics. So now I'm going to be away from my other daughter for two more days she will be 3 on the 30th and has never spent. A night away from me until now I have someone who it watching her I still just am missing her and know that she isn't having a good time. They gave me the choice of staying the next two days here with Elizabeth or going home and them admitting her into the nicu but I'm breastfeeding and do not want her to have any bottles at all. I just feel like I'm having to choose between my two babies and it's the worst feeling ever and I just feel like I should choose between one or the other and it's stressing me out so bad.

My dear I know it isn't easy but its just something you have to do. My oldest turned 2 two days after my youngest was born and I constantly have to choose between who gets help first. It's hard when they're both crying and wanting my attention but i know it will get easier. Your oldest might just enjoy having her sleepover and will probably adapt better than you think. Right now your littlest needs you more and you are doing the right thing especially since you want to breastfeed with no bottles.
